Good morning,
Hope everyone had a great holiday and is taking some time to slow down & reflect as we head into the New Year. Also, happy Sunday #3 🤣
Below I’ve reviewed the Top 10 franchises out of the 39 that I’ve covered this year.
Before we get to it, as a reminder for Thursday I won’t be sending the normal Thursday 3, but will instead send a primer on what’s coming in 2022 for The Wolf, and more importantly how that can benefit you as an investor and/or operator (hint: big things are in motion 👀).
